Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fundamental principles that guide human action and govern the structure of society. The author examines the concept of "utility" as the foundation for morality and legislation, arguing that all actions, both individual and governmental, should be judged by their tendency to increase or decrease happiness. The bookââ â¢s exploration of utility is situated within a broader intellectual landscape, engaging with competing ethical frameworks like asceticism and the principle of sympathy and antipathy. The book dissects the complex interplay of pleasure, pain, intention, consciousness, and motivation, providing a framework for understanding how these factors shape human behavior. It further examines the concept of "mischief" and how it manifests in both individual actions and societal consequences, ultimately calling for a system of laws and governance grounded in reason and the pursuit of collective happiness. This insightful exploration of utility and its application to human action and political order offers a timeless perspective on the fundamental principles that govern our lives and shape the societies in which we live. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
